Very nice looking car.
The black color really fits it well.
It looks damn good really.
I would put some BMW logos on the tires though.

Look on r3v as he did a full write up on the paint job and such. That is a home style job (well, as you know in CA he couldn't really do a home job as he rented a booth) and I wish I could see it up close as painting is one thing I know NOTHING about. He's got a nice camera and a very good eye as well.
